2nd question, does anyone else's car drive like poop in freezing weather? it seems like u hear every rattle that the car has in the damn cold? is this jus me?

thanx alot guys

As for the antifreeze, I'm pretty sure the tC has an aluminum radiator (but I'm not 100% on that). If so, you can't antifreezes that contain silicates, otherwise they will eat away at the aluminum like acid and you'll be replacing the radiator and or the water pump sooner rather than later.

And yeah, my car doesn't like the cold too much either.

dude stick with the pink ish. its got the proper stuff. if its low top it off with water. mixing coolants together will create a acidic fluid mixture. you don't want that.
